The Manor

Here at 20 RUE JACOB, hides a secret place in the heart of St Germain des Prés.

 American Natalie Clifford Barney's literary salon is named after

"Temple of Friendship". For more than 60 years this place welcomes the finest minds in a neoclassical decor. The "Amazon" show will remain one of the last so influential. Jardins d´écrivains permeates the intensity of this story to compose the fragrance

of a Parisian spring.

In a case of amber patchouli, a radiant bergamot is combined with the delicate palmarosa.

Jardins d'écrivains embodies the spirit of the "Pléiade" with a line of perfumes in their vegetable-tanned leather cases.

GIGI, the famous heroine of Colette invites us to Paris 1900. Young beautiful, mischievous, she seduces with her simplicity, her carelessness and her frankness.

To celebrate it, Jardins D'Écrivains imagines a theme of bright and fruity white flowers.

The SNOBBISH candle praises noble materials by dressing in turquoise vegetable tanned leather and revealing an ultra chic fragrance.

Notes of bitter almonds reveal a delicious and unique character.

Once the candle is used up, the leather-trimmed glass becomes an object such as a cache pot, a cosmetic jar or a pencil holder, depending on your inspiration;)

100% vegetable soy wax, 285G.

L’EAU D’EPINE (Thorn water) is a flayed perfume.

A pungent caress alternating the ferocity of rosebush thorns and the smoothness of amber balm.

The symbolism of a wild nature apprehended by humans in search of virtues.

A Perfume floating between an aromatic soil and a sky with notes of ozone. " LE RÊVE " is a pillow mist to welcome the theater of our brain.

Henri Bergson evokes that we forget nothing, everything we have perceived, thought, wanted, persists indefinitely. Can memories be summoned by dreams ? Jardins D'Ecrivains interprets an olfactory atmosphere dedicated to sleep to deliciously explore our secret gardens.

Nathalie Sonnet, ceramist

After studying history, I joined the Louvre Museum at the end of the 80’s, then in full mutation. My gaze is particularly focused on ceramics, perhaps because here one perceives the hand shaping matter. I then resume studies of art history and, from eye to hand, other apprenticeships, which gradually and durably attach me to this material, clay. In 2005 I set up a workshop in Normandy, where color and light nourish my work. 

Since then, following a path of research in forms, colors, textures, the body is increasingly involved in gesture and develops proximity and intimacy with matter.

Neroli, Pepper, Wormwood, Fig, Ginger, Violet, Musk, Buchu, Lavender, Narcissus, Iris, Incense, Sandalwood.

The Cocotte’s life seems to be inspired by a novel. She dedicates her existence to excess and freedom. La Belle Otero eau de parfum is an invitation to misbehave : licentious pepper, illicit absinthe, covetous violet and concupiscent sandalwood. Its evolution leaves a certain delectation on the skin.

The new ager explores a new religiosity that appeared in the 20th century.

A spirituality centered on the “mystical self” and inspired by different influences.

This quest reveals a cosmic patchouli with jasmine and incensed essences of a divine nature.

Fred Fou, Photographer.

Like an alchemist, I intervene in photography mainly with simple materials (scotches, papers, inks, pencils, pastels, pens, paints, liquid bitumen…).

I push to the limit of support each draw, pushing all established rules. Immersed in ink baths, each impression gives itself at random a controlled metamorphosis. Next comes sequencing, marks and traces on photography, painting, assemblages, collages.

This setting creates two spaces that provoke and lead the gaze of a «Before» towards a «Elsewhere».   

The series «Approximative Landscapes» asks about the processes of exploration and appearance of the image. 

Around this representation, it is my own interior landscape as poetic and visual layers that appears on the surface. The art of telling with light what is mysterious and intimate, secretly deep and enclosed in the shadows.

To venture, to create a landscape for light, to redo the route of the day, from one bank to the other, to print sound...
